	Ben's involvement with the STO almost came to the attention of the [[Global Defense Department]] a year before the bombing, but was missed due to procedural errors. On Aprilus 9th, {{YR\|41\|format=yr_bch}}, Ben was picked up for a post-curfew violation by the GDD and was found with what turned out to be bomb making materials, which were explained away by Ben to his interrogator, Agent [[Youngblood]], as model rocketry components. He was let go on a warning due to lack of probable cause and the plausibility of his explanation. A videotape recording of the interrogation would go unnoticed for over a month after the bombing because Agent Youngblood spelled his surname "Starke" with an "e" and consequently misfiled it. Youngblood herself had totally forgotten about Ben. Fearing departmental embarrassment and to protect his partner, the tape is destroyed by Agent [[Jordan Duram]], following a broad hint by the [[Gara Singh\|director of the GDD]] {{CAP\|Reins of a Waterfall}}.
